  • Why Are We Offended? - Sermon For Proper 15 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 13, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,309 views

    Looking at why the Pharisees were offended, and how the woman who was likened to a dog wasn't. Then thinking about why we are offended by the things of the world.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy spirit. Amen. Over the past few weeks we have spoken about the positive aspects of being sown and planting seed within life, and as I read this week’s Gospel, I wanted to just think about one other aspect, one which perhaps we don’t often like to consider, ...read more

     | 2,302 views

    Jesus take my donkey's reins!!

    Palm Sunday God's saving plan, "the mystery of his will" mentioned in Ephesians 1:9, teaches that all creation makes one big circular movement from God and back to God- to "recapitulate" all things in heaven and on earth in Christ (Ephesians 1:10)… ….Which is why Jesus ...read more

    We need the ground for all those negatives things to die.

    And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” John 12:32 He draws us, not forces us. Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’” Song of Songs 1:3, “Draw me after you.” He draws us by his suffering for ...read more

  • Things We Need For The New Year 1 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 857 views

    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.

    But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

  • Who Are The Saints? (Feast Of All Saints - Year B)

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Oct 27, 2021
     | 3,023 views

    A look at our understanding of what the Feast of All Saints is about and how it can inspire us in our Christian walk. (Based on a sermon I wrote many years ago)

    In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. When our culture transforms a "holy day" into a "secular holiday," it almost always manages to focus on the wrong side of the equation. Let me explain what I mean. The number of shopping days left till Christmas ...read more

    All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful.

    1.Flannery O’Connor noted that “All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful, “she wrote in 1958. (Adding, “Priests resist it as well as others.”) She means that grace intervenes in the sufferings of the ordinary -- ignorant, complacent people whose ...read more

  • We Are Witnesses Second Sunday Of Easter, Year C

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 24, 2022
     | 1,473 views

    Easter is unsettling. That’s our thesis for this series. No, wait, that’s a given. That’s a foundational statement. The thesis is because Easter is unsettling for the world, we need to be witnesses to the Easter event.

    We Are Witnesses SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER, YEAR C Acts 5:27-32 5:27 When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, 5:28 saying, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and ...read more

  • First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,364 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

  • Second Sunday Of Lent, Year A- Transfiguration Thoughts

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 25, 2023
     | 1,513 views

    There is no "on the mountain" and "off the mountain" which can be explained by the virtue of equanimity.

    Peter was talking, but yielded to the voice from heaven and listened. “Listen to him" we hear from God the Father. Matthew 17:5 A woman named Barb tells about an incident that happened in her granddaughter’s kindergarten class. A boy in the class just wasn’t listening to his teacher. The ...read more

  • First Sunday Of Advent, Year B: Advent Hope

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2023
     | 2,186 views

    Optimism is an assessment. Hope is an act.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?" 1 Advent is not a penitential season; it’s a period of devout and expectant delight, yet we intuitively understand that it is not possible ...read more

    Squander yourself for hope in Christ.

    A three-year-old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from the tissue paper. “Here’s the donkey!” he said. “Here’s a king,” and “Here’s a camel!” When he finally got to a one-piece tiny infant molded to his crib, he proclaimed, “Here’s baby ...read more

  • Character Reaps Fruit - The Year Of The Lord’s Favour

     | 516 views

    We are called to be disciples who carry out Jesus’ great commission. The Bible is essential to build ourselves up to be active and effective believers. However, it’s important, with that knowledge, for Christians to look at the fruit Godly character needs to produce in our lives.

    CHARACTER REAPS FRUIT - THE YEAR OF THE LORD’S FAVOUR We are called to be disciples who are to carry out the great commission that Jesus gave to His church. Knowing the Bible is very important to build ourselves up to be active and effective believers. However, it is also important, with that ...read more

  • Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A- The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 18, 2023
     | 1,650 views

    Even in the fruit-bearing hearers of the word there are gradations.

    I saw a neighbor working in his front yard wearing a funny T-Shirt that said, “Sorry I Can't My Plants Need Me.” In today’s parable from Matthew, chapter 13, the seed is the Word of God (verse 20), and the ground is our hearts (verse 19). It all depends on what kind of soil a person is because ...read more

  • Peace On Earth: A New Year Challenge For Christ Followers Series

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Dec 14, 2022
     | 2,131 views

    The overarching message of the Advent is "Peace on Earth". But when we look around, peace seems to be the last thing we seem to be having. How can we experience the peace that Advent offers?

    Peace! Is it as elusive as it seems? There is a strong need for us discuss the issue of peace today. If we look around us, not many of us find peace, but conflicts and war and strife and violence in abundance all around us. Two seasonal aspects brought this topic up to the top of my mind. The ...read more

    A look at what being a servant to all means to us as Christians, and looking at how we turn teaching into action. A call to action, post COVID

    In the name of the Living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Over the past few weeks, we have been looking at a number of scriptures from Marks Gospel and the letter of James.
